Anyone bitten by the "Yahoo hates mailing-lists" bug yet?

Yahoo US, but not Canada, has decided that DMARC is ready for prime
time, and turned it on, thus cutting off all yahoo-email  users from any
mailing lists they're on.  The IETF, which hasn't put it onto the
standards track yet is annoyed: they just got cut off! YahooCanada, who
delivers my home email for Rogers, *reputedly* has not yet cut any
Canadians off.

Anyone observed any oddness?

The symptoms are
 - if you're using yahoo mail, you don't get any mail from your lists
 - if you're not a yahoo mail user, everything you send to the list
bounces back at least once, and often once for each yahoo-email-victim
on the list.
